Friends, I am challenging myself to sew not one, but FOUR skirts for winter by the end of May. Heaven knows how I will find the time to do this with a visit from the parentals, two singing groups a week, a market to sew for and a butt-whipping day job, but I am determined to do this.

Because the other part of the challenge this month is to make a serious dent in this.

That's less than half of it. There is another row of fabric behind that (deep cupboards) and a few pieces of fabric playing with the power tools on the shelf above. I can't close that door. That door is in my spare room. My parents are coming to stay in 3 sleeps. It would be nice if the door didn't spring open on them at inopportune moments, like when they are walking past it.

Now this is inspiring! I wish I could commit to making myself some winter clothes. Im sitting here freezing and im about to delve into the depths of the Mr's wardrobe to find something cosy and large. You look gorgeous, by the way, and im sure you looked just as excellent with the coat and scarf!
